On top of the new control functionality, Soro lets you create both quick actions or extensive workflows to control your speakers with the Shortcuts app using widgets, Siri voice commands or automations.

▶ LIVE ACTIVITY, WIDGET and APP SHORTCUTS - NEW IN SORO 2.0
- Live Activity for the Lock Screen
- Widgets for the Home Screen and Standby Mode
- App Shortcuts for the Action Button, Spotlight and Siri

▶ SPEAK TEXT ON YOUR SPEAKERS
- Similar to the Intercom action available for the HomePod, this action lets users to play messages (or media files) on any of their supported* Sonos speakers utilizing the text to speech features built into iOS, iPadOS and macOS and continue the already playing content after the message.
- See the example shortcuts 'Text to Speech' and 'Walkie Talkie' to explore the possibilities of what you can do in your own shortcuts.

▶ SHORTCUTS AND AUTOMATIONS

Please note that your device needs to be on the same network as your speakers and local network access need to be granted by first launching the main Soro app.

If you are using VPN, multiple Sonos systems or experiencing connectivity issues please try the feature called Direct Connect within the app. It also improves the speed of execution in general so feel free to utilize it anytime.
You can set it up by tapping ••• in the top left corner and selecting 'Multiple systems or using VPN?'

* 'Speak Text' action supported speakers: Sonos One, Amp, Port, Play:5 (gen 2), Beam, One SL, Move, SYMFONISK table lamp with WiFi, SYMFONISK WiFi bookshelf and all newer speakers using the Sonos S2 system.

Really great! ButCan you please add mic control? Thanks! I use Soro daily in my shortcuts..Version: 2.0.1

Thank. God.Grain of salt. Used 5 minutes so far. ….but has turned all my SoNo’s into SoYes’s SoFar. My biggest pain in offloading Alexa to HomeKit was the extraordinary negligence in Apples volume options. There’s literally not a way to control volume on sonos by voice….not even with Siri on the appletv activated by the ACTUAL APPLETV REMOTE that has the volume buttons built in (understanding if you had the remote in hand it wouldn’t matter to begin with). HomePods….can control AppleTV great unless you want to send the hdmi command to raise or lower volume. This app does all that and more (so far). I’m crazy about seeing the option to modify sub settings. I do it manually between movies and music to keep balance (particularly when it comes to Atmos content vs non atmos on Apple Music). I was also hesitant about third party add ons because other shortcuts extensions introduce bugs to flush out in addition to the already-hardest-learning-curve smart system available. THIS ADD-ON DIDNT EVEN ASK FOR SONOS ACCOUNT CREDENTIALS. OUTSTANDING. It naturally needs network device discovery permission, but just worked. The UI of the actions is intuitive. 1 and done attempts with the first test runs. Love this. Love it. Love my 5 minutes of childish excitement over something that solves a first world problem. In love. Love YOU (developer)..Version: 1.3.3

Valuable & UsefulAfter buying more fully into the Sonos ecosystem I was looking for an application to help me tighten the integration between my Apple HomeKit based smart home and my multi-room Sonos system. This app has provided me so much value allowing me to set up shortcuts for preset volumes and equalizer settings and use these shortcuts on my Apple devices and via Siri. I guess one could build these shortcuts themselves, but this app has accelerated the process and removed any challenges in the development process. Due to this app I have built out an entire infrastructure for multiple rooms in my house in the time it would take me to build out just one room. Thank you for the great work, and I highly recommend exploring this application if you are both an Apple and Sonos user!!!.Version: 1.4.2

Great App - Adds Control to SonosThis was a great find. I have 1 airport express that supports Airplay 2 and Sonos speakers all over my house. With this app, I can ask Siri to group the Sonos speaker connected to airplay to other rooms and then play music directly from my music app. So far it seems to work well, maybe a tad slow which sometimes causes it to time out. My one request for the developer would be to add Apple Watch support. These shortcuts don’t work with the Apple Watch, I get an error saying “could not run unknown action. This action requires an app to be installed”. Adding Apple Watch support would be excellent..Version: 1.1.4

Simply amazingI’m so glad I finally bit the bullet and got the app. I have used Home Assistant, Homebridge, and have a good understanding of programming knowledge so I’m not a newbie. I still believe that anyone can use this with ease if you are somewhat familiar with Apple’s shortcuts app. I have a full menu of Sonos control with just the tap of an icon saved to my home screen thanks to this app. Keep the good work up and please keep this app updated with the latest iOS updates. Love it!.Version: 1.3.5

FINALLY Sonos feels smartSeriously, how has Sonos not implemented all these features in their own app? I mean, come on. I can finally set a goodnight scene and have a certain speaker play music directly from Sonos, without needing to use AirPlay! Same with asking Siri to turn down the volume, mute or skip tracks without needing airplay! Seriously, this is feels huge and is a missing puzzle piece in making my smart speakers actually feel smart..Version: 1.3.3

Easy to use Shortcut Maker for SonosBought this to automate a few routines to make my Sonos experience better, and it has! Reached out to the developer with a few questions before buying and he answered quickly and helpfully. The app basically just opens up options when using the shortcuts app, and you need to have an understanding of how to make shortcuts to use this. It’s pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Would buy again..Version: 1.1.5

Fast Custom Local Actions for ShortcutsI’m so pleased to have found this app which fills a big gap for Sonos fans. It only works on your local network but that makes it much faster than cloud-based options and you only pay once rather than every month. Support is great and it uses smart, thoughtful design. This is only for those who are familiar with or are willing to learn to use Apple Shortcuts..Version: 1.4.2

The app I’ve been looking for!I have a Sonos system as well as a HomePod, but was never able to control my Sonos speakers via Siri Shortcuts. Now I can! It’s been especially helpful as I just purchased a record player, and using shortcuts to switch between line-in and TV inputs with additional volume micro adjustments is something I was hoping to achieve. Soro does just that!.Version: 1.4.2

Solved My Sonos Problems!I have been trying to find the right solution for my Sonos amp since it takes far too many clicks to turn on line in (turntable) and the tv input. Now I have shortcuts on my phone and am able to have direct access to both functions with one click! Awesome app and with every penny!.Version: 1.2

Amazing!New update VASTLY improved the speed and reliability, and makes the app from barely usable to must-have for any Sonos owner. There is still way to go in terms of speed (eg flow of grouping all rooms, setting all of their volume and playing something takes about 5-7 seconds) but it is definitely fast enough to love the app and say it’s well worth every penny. 🎉.Version: 1.1.8

Must have for Siri and SonosI’m still learning how to use this and shortcuts and it would be nice if the developer could provide some references. With the news of the HomePod being discontinued a lot of people will e switching to Sonos like me but still want time to use Siri. It would be a good idea to cater to that group. Maybe some you tube videos?.Version: 1.1.6

Fantastic!This app finally solves one of my biggest Sonos headaches! Among other things, it makes it very easy to create Shortcuts to create groups of Sonos speakers. For example nor I can just ask Sori to “group living room and kitchen” and it is done! Developer off right back to me when I had a question as well..Version: 1.1.5

Great, useful app!Adds much-needed actions to Shortcuts for controlling your Sonos speakers. I had a fragile system of webhooks and IFTTT automations to group/ungroup, play/pause my speakers. All those have all been replaced by this app. It’s simple to use and so reliable I forget it’s the glue holding things together. Great app!.Version: 1.1.8

Great controls for SonosI get annoyed needing to always open the Sonos app to control system. These shortcuts are a much better way of doing most the things I want to. I am still learning what useful shortcuts to make but so far this is great!.Version: 1.3.2

Automate your night modeI bought this app almost entirely so that I could create a routine that turns night mode on at 9pm and turns it off at 7am. That way my wife doesn’t wake up in the middle of the night. Perfect solution!.Version: 1.2

Cool app and great customer serviceI purchased this app to set up shortcut buttons on my Stream Deck. The app originally worked on iPhone but not my iMac. Laszlo kept at a solution until he got it to work. Can’t wait to learn more about this app..Version: 1.2

Documentation?This app fills a great gap for Sonos owners. Generic action works great! But… it would be a 5 stars for me if there is a documentation somewhere. I tried to debug the Party Mode sample as it doesn’t change the speaker. I am sure there is something I missed. Just wish there is more info to go with..Version: 1.1.12

Great when it works, frustrating when it doesn’tThis has really changed the game for our nighttime routine, but it often requires that we re-choose the speakers within the Shortcut’s settings..Version: 1.4.1

This are the shortcuts and capabilities Sonos failed to provide.Before I even start, the developer Laszio is great. Laszio responded to my issue. (My lack of understanding on a specific way to create a shortcut.) Laszio walked me thru it and explained where I went wrong in creating the shortcut. This app will help power users maximize their Sonos automation while avoiding the crappy Sonos app altogether. It can be a little imitating initially but it is worth the price..Version: 1.3.3

Great Addition to Shortcuts & Sonos!The latest update with the ability to add a static Sonos IP address to work with a VPN is fantastic. And it has a much faster response time now when using multiple actions in a shortcut. Great app!.Version: 1.1.8

So goodOne of the reason's I'm still in the Sonos Ecosystem. I'm able to do all my smart home stuff and that includes my music. Awesome!.Version: 1.4.1

Excellent!Money well spent on this app so far. Being able to make Siri Shortcuts is so awesome..Version: 1.3.3

I needed this!I needed this so much. Thank you this is so helpful!.Version: 1.4.2

Finally I can control Sonos with Siri and Home App and HomelinkOneOf the few apps out there that is simple to use and works out of the box. It took me five minutes after downloading to have Sonos play my favorite radio DI.FM ambient station in all the zones and also create a shortcut to stop Sonos on command and when I watch TV. So simple..Version: 1.1.8

The features I was waiting for since a long time!Thanks you very much for this app, I’m so happy to control my Sonos speakers with Siri Shortcuts! Some shortcuts are missing, thought: • Increase / Decrease Volume • Get title and info of the current played music or stream • Get Current Volume Thanks.Version: 1.1.5

Amazing appBeen waiting for that kind of app for years. I am having the error “too long to execute” from shortcut app. How can I solve this ?.Version: 1.1.12

Brilliant!Anyone with a Sonos needs this!!.Version: 1.4.2

Encourage independent software developersEncoure developers who, probably, built this software out of need for themselves. Honestly, I just purchased the app earlier today because it does exactly what I wanted myself to code myself as a side project. If nobody else did it prior. I see that from your other app, the developer also built a Roku remote that I wanted to code because I could not find something else already doing it, but I broke the TV so I don’t need it anymore, but I purchased that one too just to support developers independently, develop multiple platforms and do not try to sell their product under a subscription model. You are the MVP thank you to the author(s)..Version: 1.4.2

Multiple apps?Would be nice if buying this on my iPhone would also let me download the Mac App. What good is this app in a home if it only works on one device in my home?.Version: 1.3.4

Amazing for controlling speakersThe shortcuts are easy to implement into custom automations or actions and are quite reliable. The preset shortcuts in the app are also great for those who don’t want to fuss around in shortcuts..Version: 1.1.12

Apple Watch requires interaction booHi developers. Please fix these shortcuts so that if an Apple Watch is worn or hears/activates shortcuts that the Apple Watch won’t require me to “do” or “cancel” a request I asked Siri to do..Version: 1.1.11
